Method

Lay the fish in a greased, shallow dish just to fit in a single layer. Sprinkle on the lemon juice, salt and pepper and dot with 1/2ozof the margarine or butter.

Cover, foil will do, and cook in a moderately hot oven, gas 5, 375f, 190c, for 15 minutes, or until cooked.

Meanwhile, boil the potatoes and mash them with 1/2 tsp salt and 1oz of the margarine.

When the fish is cooked, spoon off any liquid/liquor and add to the milk to make up the quantity to 1/2 pint.

Now make the sauce
Melt the margarine, add the flour and cook for 1 minute.

Add salt and pepper, stir in the liquid, bring to the boil stirring continuously and simmer for 2 minutes.

Beat in the cheese, do not let the sauce boil again. Pour it over the fish.

Pipe or carefully spoon the potato around the edge of the fish.

Arrange tomato down the centre. Brush the potato and tomato with melted margarine.

Place the dish under the grill to tinge the potato golden.
